Combine ½ tsp. bergamot essential oil, ½ tsp. palmarosa essential oil, ½ tsp. angelica essential oil, ½ tsp. peppermint essential oil, ¼ tsp. myrtle essential oil, ¼ tsp. tolu balsam essential oil, ¼ tsp. elemi essential oil and ¾ cup jojoba oil in a small, dark colored bottle with a tight fitting top.
Step 2
Cover the bottle and shake it gently for 10 to 15 seconds to combine essential oils and jojoba oil.
Step 3
Pour a small amount of the mixture onto a clean cotton pad. Allow the cotton to soak up the oil for 60 seconds.
